is the monitor portable or does it have to be stationary?

Monitor Is portable! Has a rechargeable battery. Another reason I bought it.... The camera can be portable with batteries but doesn't last an entire night so the camera should plug in for best performance.

The monitor does have batteries, so it does have portable applications. I have only used the monitor in starionary applications, and it works very well.

The parent unit is rechargeable and can be carried around without being anchored to anything. The camera unit is mounted on a wall (or placed on a piece of furniture) and is stationary, unless you reposition it to adjust viewing

The monitor is very portable. The camera is difficult to place if not wall-mounted. When we travel, we generally need to stack books or boxes on a shelf to get it angled properly to view like we do at home.

The camera is portable but must be plugged into an outlet. The parent unit (video screen) does not need to be plugged into the wall at all times. It has a built in rechargeable battery and has an adjustable "kickstand" on the back for optimal viewing angle. The range is in our experience is a few hundred feet.

I use this with 2 monitors on the Varidesk and my laptop docked on my stationary desk. I had to get one longer monitor cable to reach the monitor on the far side. I don't use the laptop monitor while standing. I really love this desk, fwiw..

I cannot answer that since I am not the one who uses the monitor. Also, it is not located in my office.

You could do that but there is no stand to suppor it, the monitor does not rotate, it has no Vesa mount. Unless you make it lean against a wall it is unstable.

No. The monitor is a passive-3D. You just need 3D-glasses to enjoy the 3D feature of this monitor.

Its not hardwired into the monitor, but you can make it portray within the OS.

The cool thing about this platform is that it is well designed to run a kiosk or other stationary item. The unit is solidly built, and can be serviced and upgraded easily. It can also be mounted on the back of a monitor or tv through the VESA mounting pattern. This lets you have any size monitor and even supports dual display.Tl;dr this is more expandable and robust, a laptop is cheaper for a portable solution.

Very steady. It does not rock or move around unless you move it. Nice monitor.

Yes it is portable. We used ours in the yard just fine. However, it beeps loudly in when about to lose power, when the baby unit is off or just randomly. The beep is so loud that it could potentially wake the baby in the house. I hated this monitor, I put up with it for 2 years, but hated it! We just replaced it with VTech Communications Safe & Sound Digital Audio Monitor and we LOVE the new monitor!!!!! Best of all, the parent unit has the ability to have the warning beep turned off!!! And it still works great all around the house and outside!

It is portable, however there is not a lot of clearance. If you go over any carpet/tile transitions when moving it, it gets hung up a little. It is a pretty stout unit, but does move fairly easily. Hope this is helpful.

It is very stable, but I don't recommend you put a monitor on it.i just put my laptop and papers on it.

Hmm... Yes? It is not heavy. But it is 24 inches, and it doesn't have any sort of handles or anything. With my laptop, I leave the monitor at home, and just take the laptop with me. You COULD bring this monitor, but it seems like carrying a monitor (ANY monitor) around would be hazardous.

Yes, in concept. In reality, might be a bit crowded on the platform; I use a notebook/laptop and works great. You would want to clamp or secure the monitor so it doesn't topple off. And would need to be a smaller keyboard probably.

Same as the other answers. This is a portable monitor. Everything that it shows is driven by another external device, laptop, camera etc.

It is easily moved. I am still trying to get it to work continuously...it goes of on its own sometimes. Good quality picture..

You will have to lift the monitor on and eff each time. I just keep it at a comfortable standing height and keep a bar stool close by to sit on and still maintain my eye level. If you want something that more easy to switch several times a day, you will haev to get a push button operated one, that be more expensive.

Only the verticle poll can be used to move the monitor up and down. This is done by loosening the allen wrench screws.
